Mariners Make Free Agent Offer

According to MLB.com’s Jim Street, Mariners GM Jack Zduriencik made an offer to a position player free agent and expects to know more within 24-48 hours. That free agent is not Ken Griffey Jr., though Zduriencik has talked to his agent. Any guesses? One reader emailed wondering if the Ms could be the mystery team for Rafael Furcal.

Alan Embree is also on the radar; he acknowledged that the Mariners were one of ten clubs to express interest with his agent.
